DCF Community Cafe Holiday Dates

Notification of annual leave closure dates:

Hi guys, first we want to say a massive THANKYOU to all who contributed to and supported the wee fundraiser events that we did for Nepal. Your contributions helped us to raise over £2400 in total; some of which will go specifically to buying school supplies from the sponcered walk and the rest will go directly to our contacts in Nepal to help with feeding, medical care and other needs on the ground in Nepal.

We are blown away by everyone's kindness and support for this cause and are looking forward to sharing updates with any interested parties on our return in October.

So, with that being said, we will be leaving here to travel to Nepal NEXT WEEK! Here are our closure dates for DCF Community Cafe.

We will be OPEN Monday 21st Sep for our last trading day but please note that we will be closing at the earlier time of 3pm on the 21st to start our journey!

We will then be CLOSED until Friday 16th October when we will return for the Winter on the usual trading days of Fridays, Saturdays and Mondays 10am-4pm!

Thankyou so much again and we look forward to seeing you all again soon from Nikki, Billy and all of us @DCF Community Cafe 💟

Waternish Honey For Sale

This year has been a real challenge for the bees. They built up strongly in the spring. However, the weather during May and June meant that there were thousands of mouths to feed, but no opportunities to get out and collect nectar. Several colonies across Skye died through starvation as a result; I was feeding sugar syrup towards the end of June!

Thankfully the bees survived and thrived in the much improved weather that we had in July and August. The honey is similar to previous years in that it is heavily influenced by the bell heather in terms of colour and flavour.

There is some honey for sale in the honey cupboard down the Carnach road.

At the moment there is clear honey 5oz for £5, 8oz for £7, 12oz for £10 and 16oz for £12. Cash only.
